Deformation Analysis for Flank Milling of Thin-Walled Rectangle Plate Based on Flexible Force Model

摘要

By considering the effects of flank milling deformation on machining quality of thin-walled rectangle plate, the flexible force model of spiral end milling is built on the condition that the influence of part/tool on milling is considered with FE (finite element) numerical simulation method in this paper. Based on the flexible force model, the distribution curve of machining deformation is got by the FE prediction for the flank milling of the thin-walled rectangle plate, and the compensation strategy of CL (cutting location) is established. Some contrast tests between the flexible force model, the deflection simulation and error compensation values to the rigid force model and experimental values of flank milling are performed, respectively. The results indicate that both the flexible force model founded in the paper and the analyzed values of flank milling deflection of thin-walled rectangle plate are reliable, and an effective judgment is provided to advance the machining quality of thin-walled parts.
